I'm 100% in favour of the concept here, but I have some implementation |

For the (public) record, Infra has been wrapping genkernel to build |

binary kernel + initramfs for internal usage for 5 years now. |

Conceptually, can you clarify why you are depending on dracut here, |
| 12 |
rather than using genkernel's initramfs mode? |

I'm not sure you're going to get correct build output in cases like |
| 15 |
x86_64 -> x86 cross-compiles. |

Why not call genkernel from the ebuild instead of re-inventing the |
